This is third place that I've posted this problem with no response from forum administrators. Apparently there's a problem since I am not the only one experiencing it.

I don't like caps but maybe they have a use right now:

HEY!
ADMINISTRATOR!
DO YOU THINK YOU COULD FIND TIME TO FIX A CORE FEATURE OF THE PLATFORM YOU SUPPORT?

and let me help you out:
* Its not hotmail's servers.
* Its not my hotmail blocked sender setting.
* Its not my TiVo forum Profile settings.
* Its not my firewall, virus, malware or any other excuse you might cling to. Its on in your environment....

Can you post what an email notification looks like including an example of the structure? Since I've never gotten one, I don't know what it looks like. Maybe I can find where the notifications are going within my hotmail account.

I checked this out, and had the same issue with my live.com (hotmail, outlook.com, same thing) email.

However, it goes through just fine on Gmail, and I also get notifications to my Exchange email as well.

I think it's safe to say that this is a problem isolated to Hotmail -- we have encountered this before on other communities with Hotmail, Yahoo, and AOL, although it's not consistent and seems limited to a small percentage of users. It's likely just an overzealous spam firewall on their end, and the solution is to try a different email provider - the emails are definitely getting sent on our end.

Thank you Peter, I appreciate your helpful response. I've managed to alienate a few people on here regarding this problem trying to get some kind of solution, but I've decided that approach doesn't work since anyone that could actually fix this issue isn't affiliated with the forum or the forum software, as you've confirmed. And thats okay-I just wanted to exhausted all avenues.
